Hi there guys,
My names is Ed. I'm a full stack developer (react js + .NET core). Very interested in ML and Algorithms and Data structure. Bit of a shy person when it comes to posting new tech blog-posts but hopefully Dev.to will help me change that :)

Hey Ed,

Welcome to DEV. πŸ™‚

Just a quick tip, you can follow different tags (like #react or #dotnetcore) but also consider browsing the landing pages for different tags (e.g. dev.to/t/react) to dig through all the different posts under that tag.

And as far as being a bit shy about posting, I totally feel you. If you do decide to write something, I can say that the community is generally super friendly. Anywho, hope you dig it here!

I'm shy about talking and asking about tech, much less posting about it. Everything that interests you are things I'm trying to learn now, so any contributions you ever feel like making will definitely be valued by plenty of folks!

Hi Edward,

Write about things you've used in your development, like how you may love WinForms but you despise WPF or whatever, your passion will be included in your writing. Can't wait to see what you write!

Hey everybody,
My name is Jeril. I've been wanting to learn to code for a few years now, but haven't made a ton of progress. A lot of starting things and not keeping up with them. I think now I finally have the time and motivation to do this. Am starting out with learning front-end web development for now, but I might shift my focus to learning Python in a few months. This seems like a really neat community, and I'm happy to have found this!

Python doesn't even have to be a shift in focus - you could start out writing a backend with Flask to serve up a frontend you wrote!

Welcome to DEV Jeril! I agree with Ben that Python can be great for web work - so yeah! you can still learn web development by learning python. Good luck!

Hi All,
I guess you could call me a "Mature" programmer, I started back in the day when we still loaded programs with paper tape. Started with Assembler and moved on to Fortran, Cobol, etc.
At 73 I am still actively programming as a freelancer using Visual Basic, C#, SQL Server, and Python.
Need to get my head around Git Hub and all its strange jargon for my current client so will appreciate any pointers as to how best to get into it.

Hi Michael, there are some great tutorials on the internet. For day to day stuff you only really need no more than 5 commands: branch, commit, push, pull, checkout.

Hello everyone,
My name is Franco, I am doing a PhD in environmental sciences. In this position I mostly work on software development building different types of web and native applications to answer environmental questions for resource policy. I mostly work in python and some js but these days I am actively trying to become sufficiently proficient in C# to develop windows applications. I am very happy to have found this community!

Franco Donati

Thanks! The overarching topic is circular economy but in details I am developing tools to make macro-economic environmental impact assessment of potential policy scenarios using environmental input-output data, and automating environmental impact assessment of products.

Chris Achard

Interesting! ... what is circular economy? (is it basically a technical term for "what goes around, comes around?) :)

Thread Thread
 
fdonati profile image
Franco Donati

In a way, yes, you could say so. It's an industrial economic paradigm that aims at minimizing use of resources and environmental impacts by using different strategies. For example recycling, dematerializing products, substituting products for services, etc...

The fundamental premise is that we can obtain equal or better socio-economic performance, at a fraction of current resource use while also limiting (or even offsetting) our negative impact on the environment.

Hey there DEVs!
My name is Bien, and I'm an aspiring full stack developer both in Software and Web Development. I'm very much interested when it comes to Data and Statistics.

Hi, DEV.to community.
I'm a new guy on the block. I've found a new passion for coding and hope that here, I'll get the motivation I need to scale. I'm a beginner. I've just completed HTML and now in CSS, then plan to do JS and React. My goal is Frontend.
Thank guys.

Welcome! JS and React are great options for Frontend - lots of jobs there. What have you found to be the hardest part so far?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for checking on me. Well, I just completed HTML after a couple of weeks. Three days ago I began CSS. And I find it going great. I know the hard parts are ahead, and I'll let you know as I progress. It's an exciting experience, though.
Thanks again.

Hello Team,

My name is Raja and I am from System Administration and Application Support background but recently started career as SRE Developer.

Interested areas System/Service Automation, ML.

Hello Raja! What do you like about Rust so far? I've been thinking about learning it too - but right now I have too many things on my list already 🀣

Hello Chris,
I started reading the book named "The Rust Programming Language" and till now I like concepts like

  • backward portability.
  • Its statically typed - so speed.
  • Its memory concepts in such a efficient way that It dont need a garbage collector.
  • To run a binary build by Rust, you dont have to have Rust(If I remember correctly, never tried though)

This is what I mostly admired about Rust so far and still reading...

Thread Thread
 
chrisachard profile image
Chris Achard

Thanks! That's a good list. There's just something about Rust (static type, very fast) that seems nice coming from javascript :)

Thread Thread

Not directly Chris. as per my understanding TypeScript is the one actually enabling JS to be a static type one.

Thread Thread
 
chrisachard profile image
Chris Achard

sorry, I mean Rust is staticly typed :) Yes, TypeScript is what would make JS static - but not in the same way (it's not actually enforced in the same way, etc)
